Li Mu lacked understanding of the investment banking industry. If he wanted to get in touch with the top elites in the industry in a short period of time, it would be difficult. However, when Li Mu released the false news that Makino Technology had a financing plan, he didn't have to worry at all. How to connect with the elites in the investment banking circle, because the elites in the investment banking circle are now racking their brains to establish contact with him.
For well-known venture capital companies at home and abroad, Makino Technology is what they have been trying to pursue, and it is also the company they most want to invest in the Chinese Internet field. However, unfortunately, Li Mu has hardly accepted any professional venture capital companies. investment, Makino Technology received Baidu’s investment in its A round, and Xu Jiaming’s investment in its B round. Big venture capital investors such as Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, Warburg Pincus, and Carlyle are all eager to invest in Makino Technology and ride on Li Mu’s money-making express, but Li Mu Don't give them a chance at all.
Now there is news that Makino Technology is about to raise funds, and this news came from Xu Jiaming, who led the Series B financing. In the eyes of the investment banking circle, the credibility of this news is very high, so there is a risk of receiving the information. Investment companies took notice of this and tried every means to establish contact with Li Mu, striving to meet with him in private to discuss the possibility of Makino Technology's Series C round.
As soon as the news spread, Lin Qingya almost immediately began to receive requests for meetings from major venture capital companies. She was so frightened that she quickly called Li Mu and reported to Li Muhui: "Mr. Li, there are many requests from venture capital companies today. People have been calling you to make an appointment to meet with you, and people from several venture capital companies have even come to your door. Do we really want to raise Series C?"
Lin Qingya didn't know about Li Mu's loss, but the news that Makino Technology was going to raise funds suddenly spread in the market, and so many executives from venture capital companies suddenly came in, which made her a little confused.
Li Mu said with a smile on the phone: "The next step for the company is to set up a financial investment department. I want to find some talents in the investment banking circle, so I came up with an idea. It's just a straw boat. You can help me find all the talents." Information about venture capital companies and their contacts is compiled into a table, which must be detailed.”
Lin Qingya immediately understood Li Mu's intention and couldn't help but laugh: "Your move is really damaging. From the information they left, it seems that they all have very high positions, at least VP-level executives, and even MDs." The level, the background is scary."
Li Mu asked her curiously: "What is MD?"
Lin Qingya said: "The managing director is also a small partner in an investment bank, two levels higher than the VP."
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "You can also sort out the position information for me. I will go back and sort through it slowly."
"OK."
After Li Mu hung up Lin Qingya's call, Xu Jianjun looked at the time, stood up and said, "Mr. Li, I have something to do first. I'll call you in advance tomorrow."
Li Mu said: "You can just ask them to come directly to Makino Technology to find me tomorrow."
Xu Jianjun nodded and said: "You should also help Du Wei with the bodyguard matter. You have helped Du Wei so much. The Du family will definitely not refuse this small favor. With your current status, you really have to hurry up and take care of the security guard." Problem solved.”
Li Mu said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will implement it as soon as possible."
Xu Jianjun said goodbye and left first. Li Mu thought about it in the teahouse box. It was definitely not appropriate to call Du Wei directly. She was still young and relatively simple. He asked her directly for help, and then used Du Wei to talk to her family. He conveyed that he was not very particular about it, so it would be better to talk to Du Fei directly about this kind of matter, so Li Mu wanted to call Du Fei to have dinner together and mention his needs, but it turned out that she was Chen It was somewhat inappropriate for him to have dinner with the person Ze was obsessed with in private, so he called Chen Ze first and asked if he would like to join her.
Li Mu felt that if he asked Du Fei directly in private, Chen Ze would not know what he would think if he knew about it, or whether he would criticize him in his heart, so he still had to take a clear stand to prevent Chen Ze from misunderstanding.
If the relationship between men is strong, there is no need to distinguish between you and me in many things. For example, my money is your money, your parents are my parents, and your sister is my sister. But there is only one thing that needs to be made very clear. That's woman.
Li Mu has not much experience in life for more than thirty years, but there is one principle he has always adhered to: always keep a certain distance from your friends' women, because feelings can make people sensitive and emotional, and can make people Become low self-esteem and prone to jealousy, resulting in a lack of judgment. If you are not careful, it can easily lead to grudges and estrangement, so it is best to remain sensitive in this regard.
So Li Mu first called Chen Ze and said straight to the point: "Old Chen, I heard that Du Fei's family has connections in the army, and I want to ask her for help in finding a few reliable veterans to be my bodyguards. Do you think this is reliable?"
Without thinking, Chen Ze said directly: "Of course it's true, her grandfather is very high-ranking in the army. The most important thing is that his uncle is in charge of a special forces. Every year, the soldiers who retire from the special forces are She is the target of competition for the rich people in Yanjing. Resources are limited and it is difficult to find them from the outside. If you ask her for help, you can directly recruit her from within the army."
Li Mu then said: "That's alright, I'll ask her to come out for a meal and have a chat, you can come with us."
Chen Ze smiled and said, "Just contact her, I won't go."
"Let's get together." Li Mu didn't care whether what he said was 100% sincere, he said directly: "Don't make other arrangements for the evening. I'll call Du Fei and ask when she is free. I will contact you after confirming with her. .”
When Chen Ze heard what Li Mu said, he didn't shirk anymore and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your call."
Li Mu didn't tell Du Fei anything on the phone. He just said that he wanted to invite her and Chen Ze to have a meal together and ask her for help with something. Du Fei didn't ask any questions and just told Li Mu that he was free after get off work. So Li Mu directly made an appointment tonight.
In fact, since Du Wei's scandal in Hong Kong was successfully resolved, Du Fei has always wanted to invite Li Mu to his home for a meal, express his gratitude to him in person, and give his family a chance to express their gratitude. After all, Li Mu has always treated Du Wei took good care of and protected her very well, which not only made her sister feel at ease, but also made her parents and family feel more at ease. However, recently, the racing track and club projects have started, and Du Fei is too busy to turn around. If it weren't for Li Mu, When it comes to eating, she usually has to work overtime until after nine o'clock at night.
For Du Fei, it was extremely rare for Li Mu to have this kind of affection for Du Wei. They were two sisters from the Du family, and her sister had been living abroad all year round, and she had always been indifferent to Du Wei. There was too much care but not enough care. Li Mu's appearance was like bringing Du Wei a brother she had longed to have since she was a child. It was also a great thing for Du Wei.
In the evening, Chen Ze arrived first and Du Fei last.
Li Mu and Chen Ze chatted for a long time before Du Fei hurried over and apologized as soon as he entered the door, saying, "I'm sorry, the traffic jam is a bit severe. How old are you two?"
Li Muxiao pointed to the pot of chrysanthemum tea on the dining table and said, "We have just sat down and haven't had a few sips of tea yet."
Chen Ze glanced at Li Mu teasingly. He knew in his heart that the waiter had asked the waiter to store the tea three times.
However, Chen Ze naturally would not point it out. Instead, he smiled and said to Du Fei: "I am also blocking the road. Let's go back and forth."
Du Fei nodded and said with a smile: "Next time you two want to have a dinner date, make it closer to me."
Li Mu then said: "My negligence."
Du Fei smiled slightly and asked him: "By the way, what do you want from me? If you need help, just say so. I owe you a lot of favors. Give me a chance to pay it back."
Li Mu said: "Don't say that, we are all good friends."
Du Fei said with a smile: "Then you should hurry up and stop nagging."
Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "That's right. I've made a little money. As you know, after I have two extra dollars in my pocket, I always feel unsure, so I want to hire some bodyguards so that I can be safe at night." Get a good night’s sleep.”
Du Fei looked at Li Mu with disdain: "Do you think you made a little money? Even my dad said that you are the fastest person he has ever seen to make money from scratch. How old are you that you have become a billionaire?"
Chen Ze said with a smile: "Li Mu wants to be more modest and save some face with us. Don't keep trying to undermine others. Talk about business and let your uncle handle the bodyguard matter."
Du Fei laughed for a moment, and stopped teasing Li Mu, and said seriously: "If you want to find a good bodyguard, there are suitable candidates at any time, but if you want to find top soldiers who have retired from the Excalibur Brigade, you have to wait until the end of November. , the Excalibur Brigade has rigid regulations, and the number and age requirements are very strict. Therefore, every year, qualified recruits will be added from below, and then an equal number of veterans will be eliminated. The time for determining the elimination list is usually at the end of July or early August. The veterans on the list have two choices, one is to stay in the army, but they have to be transferred back to the ordinary company, the other is to wait until the end of November to transfer to the army, and those who can come out to be your bodyguards are the ones who decide to transfer to the army at the end of the year."
Li Mu said in surprise: "Yes, your master, who has been abroad all year round, still knows so much about the affairs of the domestic army."
Du Fei rolled her eyes at Li Mu and said, "Do you think you are the only one who would think of asking me to find bodyguards? Ask Chen Ze how many people in Guang Yanjing's circles have asked me to help with this."
Chen Ze took the words and said with a smile: "Don't mention it, these rich second generations in the Yanjing circle all dream of finding a bodyguard from the Excalibur Brigade."
After that, Chen Ze looked at Du Wei and said, "Isn't the end of November a little late? It's still four months away. If something goes wrong with our Mr. Li during this period, who can bear the responsibility?"
Du Fei nodded seriously and said, "You're right. Mr. Li's safety is a big deal. You can't be careless at all. If he has any shortcomings, it will be a loss for the whole China! Let's do it this way. I will do it tonight When you get back, help General Li communicate and coordinate this matter, and see if you can first transfer a few people from the army to General Li!"
